Author Bio

Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-45) was a Christian minister, seminary professor, and theologian who became one of the leading voices of opposition against Nazism during World War II. He was a founding member of Germany's Confessing Church and was executed for participating in a plot to assassinate Hitler. His theological views have become highly influential in the years since his death.

Bonhoeffer was one of the clearest thinkers Christianity has produced. I have attempted to obtain and read everything he wrote -- and he was prolific in his brief life. This little book is short but sweet. The chapter on Judas is worth more than the price of the book.
